Drought is hitting hard Uruguay and Argentina. Uruguay faces an estimate of 1$ billion in losses for agriculture and livestock sector, and is already struggling with basic drinking water supply. Argentina has lowest harvest of soy and corn in 60 years! #ClimateAction #drought

The #inventWater team was fully represented at last week's #GLEON2022 network meetings. The coordinator, Rafael Marcé, presented a brief about the inventWater network and the work that incredible 15 Eary Stage Researchers are doing.

(1/9) Happy to present a new Scientific Data paper that should interest #energymodellers working on/in #Africa . It aims to answer a simple question: how can we achieve representative spatial detail for #solar & #wind (VRE) plants in cost-optimisation models for African countries?

Read my latest #research on #RegionalClimateModeling , published with Springer Nature in Climate Dynamics Journal.

Incredible training in VUB on Earth System and Water Quality models. Impressed with the powerful tools we can use to run models from local to global scales. We finally run models in an HPC! Thanks to Annika Schlemm Sabin Taranu Wim Thiery @AnnGriensven for leading this!

I'm looking for a PhD student interested in human-water systems! Position is well suited for students interested in interdisciplinary research/training. The student in my group who was to work on this project has changed their research focus so the position is open again!

This time-lapse video by Max Olson shows what a 4.5 meter (15 feet) storm surge looks like. The video was recorded in Ft. Myers Beach, Florida during hurricane Ian landfall

Our 15 Early Stage Researchers identified multiple diversity dimensions that may impact their research projects. They found interesting outcomes related to socio-economic and gender dimensions. Have a look at the details here: inventwater.eu/diversity-dime…

Led by Lili Xia, our new paper in Nature Food provides additional evidence that a nuclear war would cause catastrophic climatic consequences for global food supply, especially in countries that have the largest arsenals. A nuclear war can't be won. nature.com/articles/s4301…

A single map for the worst #drought in 500 years in Europe. The river discharge anomaly based on reanalysis data from June to August 12 2022, shows an average negative anomaly of -29%, even reaching less than -62% at some points. #rstats #dataviz
